Chapter 779: Flea Market (Part I)
Maybe it was because last night's snail dinner was too delicious, and when he had breakfast the next day, Wu Ke still remembered last night's dinner.
To be honest, Chu Chen also felt that the dishes there were indeed delicious, but ordering like Wu Ke yesterday didn't look like he was ordering Western food, fortunately, the place he booked was relatively private, otherwise the other guests would definitely be surprised and amused when they saw it.
But even so, when he heard that Wu Ke had ordered so many dishes, the waiter's gaze at them became very strange, first asking them if there were other guests, and after hearing that it was only the two of them, he reminded them again and again that the two of them would definitely not be able to eat if they ordered more......
Of course, then again, if he was in public, Wu Ke would not be able to order so many dishes in one go.
Wu Ke reminisced about yesterday's meal, then took a bite of the sandwich in her hand, and said with a grin: "Achen, I didn't expect you to be so able to eat, so many dishes were actually eaten yesterday." ”
Chu Chen said speechlessly: "Didn't you see the waiter looking at us like a fool, if I don't finish eating, that person will definitely think that we have a problem with our brains!" ”
Wu Ke slapped Chu Chen's arm a few times with a smile when he heard this: "But if you do this, others will see us as rice buckets!" I almost lost my face at the time! ”
Chu Chen said with a smile: "A rice bucket is better than a fool!" Besides, in the final analysis, it's because you order too much. ”
Wu Ke smiled a little embarrassedly: "I just think those dishes seem to be delicious, and France, we will definitely come back in the future, so I can't help but order more......"
Speaking of which. She remembered one more thing: "Alas~ I almost forgot about jì, after I ordered food yesterday." I think it's too much, and I want to return some of it. It seems that in the end, you are the one who says, it's okay, you can solve it, right? ”
"I don't want you to taste it more!"
Chu Chen immediately diverted the conversation and said, "Now that the traffic is so good, and the visa is also very convenient, you can come if you want to come in the future!" ”
Wu Ke nodded: "This is also true, but it is really a bit troublesome to take a plane!" Buy plane tickets, security checks, waiting for flights, etc. What a waste of time! ”
Hearing Wu Ke say this, Chu Chen suddenly thought and said, "Otherwise, let's buy a private jet, and come when you want!" ”
"Buying a private jet?"
When Wu Ke first heard this, she really couldn't imagine that for her, airplanes were very expensive. Even the average rich can't afford it, let alone an ordinary person, but she reacted immediately. Chu Chen is not an ordinary person, but a billionaire who buys a private jet with his money. But it's more than enough.
"The price of a private jet is not cheap, or forget it!" Nevertheless. But when he thought of the price of private jets, Wu Ke still felt very reluctant.
Chu Chen laughed and said, "It's okay. Don't forget it, Uncle Xu called me last Sunday, and he has already dug up the jade mine, and it is likely to be a giant vein, if you are lucky, my dividends are billions, and it is a small matter to buy a private jet! ”
Wu Ke had known about the jade mine for a long time, but she didn't have any concept about it at first, thinking that it would be almost enough to make tens of millions of dollars at most, but she didn't expect that she could actually earn billions.
At that time, when she heard the news that Chu Chen told her, she thought she was dreaming, if it wasn't for Chu Chen's repeated assurances about the authenticity of this matter, she might not believe it until now.
Now listening to Chu Chen say this, Wu Ke also knows that buying a private jet is really not a big problem for Chu Chen's financial situation, and for a while, she also began to be moved.
But after thinking about it, she finally shook her head: "Achen, our time is not so tight, it's too wasteful to buy a private jet now, I don't think it's necessary." And I think that instead of buying a private jet, it is better to use all this money for charity, which is much more beneficial to our country and society. ”
Hearing Wu Ke say this, Chu Chen immediately smiled, nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, this matter will be done as you say!" ”
Wu can see that he agreed so happily and is very happy, but thinking that Chu Chen is also doing public welfare now, his attitude is also very normal.
Thinking of the public welfare that Chu Chen was doing, Wu Ke asked, "Ah Chen, how is the scholarship you said before?" ”
Chu Chen replied: "I'm not familiar with this aspect either, I'm exploring it, as for the free lunch, the old principal has also sorted out the implementation and supervision plan, and I plan to wait for the next semester to promote it to the surrounding schools." ”
"Then you'll be busy in the future." Wu Ke said with a smile.
"I'll leave this matter to you then!" Chu Chen smiled.
"Big lazy!"
Wu Ke glanced at him when he heard this, and said, "I'm just about to graduate now, and I don't even have work experience, so you can rest assured that you will leave things to me?" ”
Chu Chen laughed and said, "No matter who you are, your work experience is from scratch, I believe you will do it!" Besides, I'm going to set up a private public welfare fund when I get back, and then you will only have to be responsible for the management and supervision of the fund's funds. As for public welfare, I will find someone else to be responsible for the implementation. ”
"This ...... Can I do it? Hearing that he was going to manage the fund, Wu Ke seemed even less confident.
Chu Chen encouraged her: "At that time, I will hire a professional manager to assist you, with your smart mind, it will definitely not be long before you can manage it well!" ”
Speaking of this, he saw that Wu Ke was still a little hesitant, so he smiled and said: "Why, Coco, who has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, is now afraid of moving forward when he encounters a little difficulty?" ”
Wu Ke pouted when he heard this: "Don't provoke me, I'm just afraid that your money won't be used in key places, since you don't care about it, what else do I have to be afraid of!" ”
Of course, having said that, she still made up her mind in her heart that she must do things well, so that all the money invested by Chu Chen will be used on the blade.
"By the way, you just said that you are going to find someone else to be responsible for the public welfare matter, do you have the right person now?"
"Yes!"
Chu Chen nodded and said: "Last time my uncle told me that he knew a reporter, I heard that he was also going to make a free lunch, and he had already conducted preliminary research, after returning to China, I was ready to contact him, if I could, I was ready to invest some funds in him to see how the results were, if I was satisfied, I was ready to hand over this piece to him, and we only need to be responsible for the supervision of funds." ”
"Well, that's ...... too."
Next, the two exchanged ideas in this regard for a while, but there is a good saying, the ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny, Chu Chen doesn't want to make public welfare bigger, and he also has the strength to make it bigger, but in the land of Huaxia, the actual situation is too complicated, and in the end he decided that this thing can't be done overnight, and it is better to be stable.
Walking out of the hotel's restaurant, Wu Ke asked, "Achen, where are we going to play today?" ”
Chu Chen smiled and said, "Today is Saturday, why don't we go to the flea market?!" ”
There are a lot of attractions that can be played in Paris, and you can't finish shopping in a day, if it is usual, Chu Chen will definitely mention yì and then go to play, but the flea market in Paris is only open on Saturdays and Sundays, and tomorrow I will go to trade with Vincent, if I don't go today, I will definitely not have time to go this time, so I want Wu Ke to adjust the itinerary first.
Wu Ke glanced at him with disgust, and scolded with a smile: "Dead, do you think I will refuse this kind of thing!" ”
"But you're so good!" Seeing that Wu Ke agreed, Chu Chen hurriedly hugged her in his arms and kissed her fiercely.
Wu Ke blushed and said, "I hate it, and I don't look at the people around me looking at it......"
French people are very fond of visiting thrift markets, and the local thrift markets are also divided into two categories, one is professional-run shops, such as antique shops, second-hand bookstores, second-hand clothing stores, etc. On the other hand, there is the annual flea market held by the towns of France, which is often referred to as the flea market.
The French collector Corrier famously said that flea markets are "a place of happiness for thrift hunters and curiosity seekers". The Paris flea market has a long history, and for a small fee, you can buy many useful things, including furniture, accessories, antiques, clothes, daily necessities, handicrafts and more.
Flea markets are generally open on Saturdays and Sundays, that is, Saturdays and Sundays, and there are more than 3o flea markets in the city and suburbs of Paris, the most famous and largest is the flea market in Saint-Doon, north of Paris, Marcheauxpuces, the name literally translates to "flea market".
Tracing back the history, there is also an interesting story. Before the Franco-Prussian War in 187o, there were about 30,000 poor people in Paris who lived by picking garbage. In 1884, the prefect of Pubel issued a decree prohibiting the dumping of garbage and set up bins, and the poor who picked up the garbage were assigned to a former training ground in São Doão to clean up the garbage and sell the useful items they picked up.
After 1891, these poor people gradually turned their mobile stalls into permanent markets. The term "flea market" appeared on landscape postcards of the time, meaning that the market began with wandering people, jumping around like fleas. Another theory is that the used clothes bought at the market at that time often had fleas, so they were nicknamed "flea markets".
The place where Chu Chen and Wu Ke went this time was Marcheauxpuces, the largest flea market in Paris. The address of the market is also very easy to find. Just take metro line 4 and get off at the end of Portenetcourt, which is a few minutes' walk across a railway and high road. (To be continued!)
